Two men wearing black turtlenecks and sunglasses stand against a dark background, facing in different directions, exuding the enigmatic aura of a music band. It's as if they're the embodiment of Pretty Wrongs' unique style.

Those Pretty Wrongs

Those Pretty Wrongs celebrated their tenth year as a band with a tour across the U.S., UK, and Australia, promoting their best-reviewed album, Holiday Camp. Mojo described it as “irresistible” due to its “celestial harmonies” and “wrangled emotions,” while Uncut praised its “dreamily autumnal mastery” of power pop.
The partnership between Jody Stephens and Luther Russell began in 1992 but only blossomed into music collaboration a decade ago during the making of the documentary Nothing Can Hurt Me, which focused on the legendary Memphis band Big Star. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2016, garnered acclaim, leading to worldwide tours and the creation of their second album, Zed For Zulu (2019), an earthy exploration of human interaction.
Luther resides in Los Angeles while Jody remains in Memphis, and their collaboration emphasizes a spontaneous approach to music-making. Luther reflects on their journey, stating, “The first record was sort of a little miracle…. But here we are with our third LP out.” Jody’s influence on pop includes his work with Big Star and Golden Smog, while Luther has a storied career as a solo artist and producer, recently recognized in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. Their harmonious partnership continues to thrive, with plans for a UK tour this September, celebrating a decade of music. Jody emphasizes the rewarding nature of their shared creative experience, involving all who support them.
